enumerate with section index as prefix

Question

I want to create a numbered list, where each item number is prefixed by the section number. This answer shows how to make customized prefixes using the enumitem package. But the problem is I have to hard code the section number. Is there a way to populate the section number automatically?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=,label=Q1.1.\arabic]
\item First question
\item Second question
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Perfect! I used label=\textbf{\thesubsection.\arabic*} to get the subsection number as well. If you write this as an answer, I will accept it — Nagabhushan S N, Feb 18 '21 at 16:15
Thank you. I don't think it's necessary , as I'm pretty sure there already exists such an answer (albeit I don't know where, exactly). — Bernard, Feb 18 '21 at 17:23

Bernand's suggestion worked. Below is the complete code

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=,label=\thesubsection.\arabic]
\item First question
\item Second question
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

A global setting is as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\thesection.\theenumi)} %i,ii,iii,...
\title{A Test}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
    \section{Enumeration Numbers}
    \begin{enumerate}
        \item First question
        \item Second question
    \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

And the output is

enumerate with section index as prefix
